Built on Honesty, Integrity & Hard Work
Founded by Jack and Delores Nitz in 1962, our company was built on a simple principle: do business with honesty, integrity and hard work. More than sixty years later, those values continue to guide every auction we conduct and every client we serve.
Jack and Delores's son Jay and his wife Vicki carried the business into its second generation, with Vicki keeping the books for more than 30 years before retiring. Today, the company is led by Jay Nitz and his daughter Courtney Buman. In 2025, Courtney's son Travis Buman graduated from auction school, making Jack Nitz Auctions a true fourth-generation auction company. Auctioneering isn't just our profession. It's our family's life work.
